Allocation

[Bunny Hop]

Does anybody know , when Quebec dealers get their , 2023, C8 allocations? I am not sure I can trust my dealership with info anymore.

For those of us who didn't get "the call" this time around, when is the next round of allocations?

 

[Mach147]

Canadian dealers usually get allocations once a month, always on a Thursday. So the best estimate right now is June 2nd, possibly June 9th.

Deposit June 2nd 2021. My salesman was away for a couple days. Called me today and let me know I am at 3000 status. Finally happening!

 

[Buster]

That’s great, what dealership are you with?

 

[Mr.Corvette]

Today was a terrible day for Canadian allocations. Highest number was 2 many got none.
The big guys got 2 each.

 

[DenisC8]

I am hearing that there is zero availability of mag ride for non-z51 for June allocation

Yep I've heard the same thing.

 

[CamsC8]

Most would spec Z51 and/or mag ride if their allocations came up. Even with the price increase they'd be nuts to skip...

 

[Mach147]

Confirming this month was not good for Canadian dealers, my dealer got zero.

True , when I put in a new build , it told me , basically , no.

 

[Bunny Hop]

My dealer says , they get allocations every 2 weeks. Does that mean Corvettes is once a month, only? Or?

yes corvettes are 1st allocation of the month

 

[Bunny Hop]

yes corvettes are 1st allocation of the month

So once a month, my dealer did not get even one and I was next. This is getting completely ridiculous. I hate GM!

wlgj, most dealers got none and people need to understand that GM makes the LEAST amount of profit from Corvettes exported to Canada with the value of our dollar. This month there was a $15,000 price increase on Corvettes going to Australia and New Zealand. There is also incredible pressure at GM to provide more cars to
their US dealers due to the demand. Expect this situation to go from bad to worse as Canadian allocation percentages year over year continue to decline. You think it's bad here, you should see what the waiting times
are for cars going to the Middle East with left hand drive or Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand with right hand drive. Mexico just simply forget about it!

GM still sucks! I saw a sticker price from a brand new C8 in the lot and the profit margin for the dealer was close to 18000$. These cars are not negotiable.!

You think it's bad here, try going to buy one in the US with the market adjustment!

 

[CamsC8]

Amen...I'd hate to be a US buyer for Corvettes as it seems MSRP dealers are far and few between.

Would that not be the dealer that sucks? GM has no say in what the dealer is going ultimately sell for. As far as I've determined, GM prefers MSRP but a lot of dealers will charge what they will.
At least your next on the list, the light at the end of the tunnel is visible

No it is GM that sucks. These salesmen are waiting to sell and get their due for the sale. It is their bread winner. They used to get 7 or 8 Vettes, now they get 3 to 4 and us customers are not getting our cars. Almost 40 people behind me and this is just for this dealership.
